Abstract
Salsa and hot sauce sales surpass ketchup. Tortillas enable the popular
“wrap” sandwich. And avocados, mangos and cilantro can be found in
every produce department. “Hispanic” is weaving its way into all
U.S. food and beverage categories. Not only are the sales of staples such as
#1 Hispanic brand Goya dried beans and rice growing, other traditional
Hispanic brands are making their way into the United States, including #1
Mexican dairy brand LaLa. In almost every food and beverage category, shoppers
can find offerings with a Hispanic flair, which is why Packaged Facts projects
that this segment of the U.S. retail marketplace will reach $8.4 billion by
2011, up 48% from 2006. This segment continues to attract new consumers of
Hispanic foods hailing from Mexico, Central America and Latin America, as well
as the Caribbean islands, as adventurous Americans want more than salsa with
their chips. Learn how this rapidly growing food and beverages segment is
changing how America eats and drinks.
